I haven’t broken out my camera in more than a week.? :(?? This shot was taken on the 21st and other than a couple of snaps, I just haven’t been shooting.? This past week my top daily priority has been baby cuddling and comfort.? I would have to put him down to take his picture.? 🙂

I wish I could say his cold was better but so far, his symptoms remain.? He hasn’t had fevers reach the need for hospital admittance (100.2) but he does get very close to that at times.? He is still wanting to eat (frequently every 2 hours) so he is staying hydrated thankfully.?? Even now, I feel like jury is still out on whether or not we will end up back in the hospital.?? Last night we had our very first apnea event to and I am both concerned and confused by it.? At 1:06 AM, about 20 minutes after he had gone to sleep, his alarm went off.? It only beeped once indicating to me that the sound of the very loud alarm startled him to breathe.?? (The alarm is set at 20 seconds).? I want to believe that it was a “false” alarm but I don’t believe it was.? In the first place, we haven’t had a single false alarm since day 1 when I changed the way his belt was on (from what the RT did).? In the second place, if there was a lead issue that was causing funky results, experience tells me that it wouldn’t have happened only one time.? If it was having trouble picking up, it would have continued until I adjusted something.? In the third place, he was completely still when it happened.

I am concerned that the stress of a cold on his little body is what triggered it.? His pediatrician is out of town this week but I am going to at least talk to someone in the office though I don’t know what we would do differently than what we are doing right now.

The stress of that alarm weighs heavy on me.? I have been in this place before and the memories of it still haunt me.? Praying that this was an isolated incident that will never repeat itself.

I predict I may be a bit quieter on the blog for a little bit because due to Jim and I being under the weather, the baby being sick, and the demands of all four kiddos at the moment, I really am getting nothing but feeding, basic clean up and cuddling done.? This is what this season of life should be about though so I am relishing it.? My little man has now decided he is hungry so back to cuddle time.
